Wilander is Madison Keys’ coach

Madison Keys is trying harder to climb up in the WTA rankings. The world n.25 is probably the brightest American prospect in the WTA and she is seeking for more advice to get to the next level. Mats Wilander has just stepped in to help the American. Wilander has won 7 slams and he is still rather active in the circuit.

Wilander. Madison has a great potential

Mats commented “Madison has a great potential, I’ve always liked her and this will be exciting. I will primary try to improve 3 things in her game. First and foremost, it’s about playing with more variety. She and Serena Williams are the hardest hitters among the ladies, but I want Madison to use more topspin in her forehand than she did in the past. Then, I want from her to use her serve better. She has a good first and second serve and can slice, kick and hit it flat.

With her technique and strength, she can widen the court more than the other girls can, and we will try to improve that even more. It is not about hitting aces but about knowing how to use the serve to set up the score. It was exactly what Becker did with Djokovic when they began working together. “

Madison will kick start her campaign in Miami against Kirsten Flipkens.
